I Know Dan Rodriuguez!So I woke up this Wednesday morning ready for the day. But for some reason, I was late for chapel (very unlike me). So knowing I already had a late, I did the natural thing and skipped which is why I am here now. Anywho, I noticed that I had not updated in a while so I figured this was God giving me some time to take a break from my crazy schedule and just relax.
For the next few weekends, I will be traveling with my Omega group to different churches. March 23-26, we will be in Horton, Michigan (by Jackson) at Deena's house. April 1-2 we will be in Ottawa, Illinois at Corinne's church (yea Jeremiah Joe's!). And finally April 9, we are going to Fairview Heights, Illinois (by St. Louis) at my old church. April 16 is Easter. My family will probably be going to my Aunt Paula and Uncle Jerry's house or something.
My Omega group has already been to three churches and we have had an awesome trip each time. We just got back from Dan Rodriguez's church Sunday night (I think I left my deodorant there). We also found out that he is an international gold medalist in Tae Kwon Do. It's not everyday you can say that. He really is a great guy. Him and his girlfriend are really quite cute. His parents were very nice and his dad's fettuchine alfredo (actually his mom cooked the noodles  !) was amazing. Dan and I will both be RAs next year also (Dan will be in Chaptman and I will be in Hills). Well since I'm on the topic of talking about my Omega team, I might as well introduce you all to the rest.
Merideth Hoppe, along with Dan and me, is an Omega member. She and Dan are both freshies (haha). She is a Nursing major. She has a very good voice and does an awesome Myrtle too! I have yet to meet her parents but I'm sure they're lovely. Her roommates name is Megan. Merideth is also going to England in the summer to visit her sister. That's about all I got on her...for now anyway.
Deena Drake is one of my co-leaders. She and Dan are both Youth Ministry majors. She is a sophomore and is in her second year of Omega. She has a wonderful family (her dad is an accountant, her mom is a gym/physical education teacher, and her brother is a hunter/basketall/soccer player). Her roommate is Amber McKean. Deena has three cats: Mittens, Penelope, and Squeaks. Mittens is mean, Penelope is sweet, and squeaks is half cat half raccoon. She is also going to the Focus on the Family Institute in Colorado. Congratulations again!
Last but certainly not least  is the ever-popular Corinne Norem. Corinne is my other Omega co-leader. She is a Junior Elementary Education major. This is her third year of Omega. She has a very nice family, which I was able to meet last weekend. Her dogs are both cute (Tilly and Peaches). She also has another dog and a cat that we weren't able to see. Her brother has a 1970s Chevy Nova (really nice). She is planning on becoming a teacher so she is going through a lot of practicums and will be student teaching next spring. I wish you all the best luck with that!
Well it appears as though chapel and come and gone. Class is getting ready to start so I must leave you all. It was fun to write on here again. I hope you all have a safe school year and don't get too stressed out by projects and papers. Just know that God's grace covers all! God bless you guys. Showing His love, Jason. |

We got to walk by the St. Louis Arch which is huge! Then we ate at
Friday's. Trisha paid for us all which was so cool. The whole way home
the girls were rocking out to whatever music they could. I'm really
going to miss my omega group 
. We all bonded so much. It's going to be weird not traveling anymore. I guess this means more time for studying 
.
It makes me sad because I love everyone on my team so much and I feel like we are all family. We've all goten so close to each other. Well, I must be going. I hope you all enjoy the rest of the semester and good luck with finals. God bless you all. Showing His love, Jason.
